Shot this with my reversed 50mm (poor-man's macro). This is my cooperative cat ... in natural diffused sunlight: Shot in RAW. Made some temperature adjustments using selective color, sharpened, The only major pixel edit I made to this was getting rid of a distracting reflection in the upper eye.

Wow - great work. I trust no animals were injured in the capture of this shot!! :-)
Love to know how you got the iris to be so in focus without bolting your camera to it's head! 7
Would have been a better presentation if you held a bit better detail in the eye...looks a bit grainy...try lowering the ISO...or saving the image at a higher quality for DPC :-)
